Registration Now Open!!

Registration is open at Earl Grey School for kindergarten for the Spanish Bilingual Program! The school is located at 340 Cockburn St N and the phone number is (204) 474-1441.

In order to register your child, you will need to go in person to the school today or starting on January 4th. Documentation that you will need to bring to register:

1. Manitoba Medical Card listing the child and parent(s) name

2. To prove residency - Property Tax Bill of primary residence OR Rental/Lease Agreement OR Accepted "Offer to Purchase" with possession date included

4. Birth Certificate OR passport OR Treaty Card

If you are not a citizen then you will need to provide a landed immigrant document OR work visa OR study visa OR refugee status

There will be three forms for WSD families and four forms for families outside of the division. 

The principal and the secretaries at the front office are ready to accept applications from all families. All of the registrations will be date stamped and those out of catchment will most likely be put on a wait list.

We need to have a minimum of 20 children from WSD catchment by January 29. 

We plan to have an open house mid-January to update you on the current program at EG, as well as plans for other division presentations and late entry (grade 7) proposal. 

What's Next?

The first ever Winnipeg Spanish bilingual program will begin September 2016 at Earl Grey School (N-8). The plan is to start a kindergarten and/or a grade one class and registration forms will be available shortly from the division and the school. If you have any questions regarding the process to register your children, please contact Eugenia or I. Once the forms are ready and registration is open, we will let you know so you can contact the school directly.

But we are not finished with our work on Spanish Bilingual programming as there are families in other school divisions and those that have older children who want a Spanish Bilingual program.

If there are any families interested in being a part of the program, no matter what the age of your child or area that you reside in, please let them know how to get their child on our database. This is only the beginning of Spanish Bilingualism in Winnipeg.

Next steps... Late entry program and other school divisions!

Our goal is to gather enough children born in 2004 to propose that the division start a late entry for grade 7 at Earl Grey. With a school already identified, it shouldn't be hard at all.

As well, we continue to collect names so that we can present to other divisions. All we need is 23 children entering into kindergarten or grade 1 or even grade 7 for late entry.

Thank you for all your support and your work in this with us.

Official Statement by the School Division
